1) The document is a call to action given by Denise Jacobs at a GitHub workshop encouraging underrepresented groups like women and people of color to become more visible in the tech industry by speaking at conferences and publishing content online.
2) Jacobs argues that a lack of diversity discourages potential contributors and limits innovation, and provides advice on how to gain visibility including promoting yourself, finding mentors, volunteering, and collaborating with others.
3) She urges attendees to "rawk the web" by sharing their voices and expertise in order to make the tech industry more inclusive and shift conference lineups towards greater diversity.
While some conferences support a proactive diversity policy, the common lament industry-wide is the pool of candidates just isn't large enough to draw from. It's time for women and people of color to Rawk The Web: to become more visible, promote our achievements, and make ourselves known as the rockstars we truly are.

In visual arts and graphic design, white space is fundamental to allowing a creation to exist, by creating delineation and focus. Similarly, in our lives, creativity often sprouts from the "white space" of time: the moments in our increasingly busy schedules between activities and thoughts that allow the subconscious to better absorb and connect information. Clearly, in order to be more creative, we need to open up this "in-between" space in our lives, but once we've done so, how can we best capitalize upon the brain's natural creative capacities? In this talk, we'll explore several counter-intuitive and potentially subversive methods for leveraging this "white space" to foment innovative thinking creative productivity.

Many people either don't think they are creative or don't know exactly how they are creative. However, everyone is creative in some way. If you've neglected your creative spark for a while, know that it's not absent, that it merely needs reviving. We'll look at some of the ways your creativity may have been stifled and explore several methods to awakening the slumbering giant of creativity within.

How to Have Difficult Conversations With Confidence - MTP Digital 2020Denise Jacobs
Sometimes it’s difficult to have the self-assurance needed to tackle having some of the difficult conversations that are part and parcel of your work – particularly with the high level of Impostor syndrome that many product managers experience.
It turns out that silencing the inner critic is part of the foundation for cultivating the courage needed to have difficult conversations with more confidence. As a bonus, getting rid of the mean inner voice additionally enhances creative problem-solving, innovative thinking, and collaboration skills – three items that Product Managers have to use everyday.
In this session, we’ll first identify the ways in which the inner critic weakens our nerve to tackle head-on the conversations that we need to have. Then, we’ll explore powerful mental reframes and tools for reducing self-doubt, dealing with impostor syndrome, and recognizing cognitive distortions. Finally, we’ll address some of the most common difficult conversations such as giving and receiving feedback, getting teams in alignment with each other, dealing with execs, and saying no, and tools to facilitate each.
There are certain conversations that will always provoke anxiety. However, the tools and practices shared in this session will put you on the path to honing interpersonal skills, developing resilience, and increased self-awareness.

The Torchbearer's Opportunity – Miles Camp 2018Denise Jacobs
A torchbearer is a person who leads or inspires others in working toward a valued goal. Sadly, too many companies fall prey to leadership that is self-serving, tone-deaf to their talent pool, and only concerned with growing wealth of the company at the expense of company morale. These leaders don’t realize this approach to leadership makes their companies less adaptable, and thus less competitive, in the marketplace.
To solve today’s problems and those of the future, we need an evolved version of leadership. We need more people to be torchbearers: modern leaders that light the way to individuals doing their highest and best work, teams creating better together, and companies that contribute to the bottom line while also contributing to the greater good.
Fortunately, today’s leaders can embrace, ignite, and model modern leadership through leveraging the power of creativity – and the steps are more accessible than you think. In this talk, we’ll explore how leaders can identify and remove internal mental blocks, how to access personal power through finding and staying in Flow more consistently, and how to amp up communication skills to become a connected and trusted role model who sparks a wave of change that transforms workplaces for the better.

• Lament in the industry
• Lack of role models discourages
potentials
• Diversity of voices encourages
innovation
41. Lament on-going for years

rarely anything new to learn.”

• Get a plan/set some goals
• Get support

misunderstand me. Danger is very real.
But fear is a choice.”

“I also wanted to thank you for your presence as a
speaker at [Interlink] conference, because I often
find that the speaker lists are, like many things,
too often crowded with white men. And as a
white man, I really appreciated your perspective
as a woman of color, and I'm hoping that it
continues to clear the way for a multiplicity of
voices in our industry, which is greatly needed.”
